About

I recently completed my PhD in Archaeology and the Ancient World at Brown University. My dissertation is a study of ancient Egyptian royal stelae that were carved into cliffs, rock outcrops, and boulders. I approach this research with a focus on landscape, materiality, and spatial language.

I am originally from Brooklyn, New York. I attended Barnard College for my undergraduate degree in Anthropology (on the Archaeology track, 2009) and the University of Oxford for my MPhil in Egyptology (2012). I currently live in Providence, Rhode Island with my husband and our two cats, Nut and Neith.

Fieldwork

I study Egyptian royal living-rock stelae using digital technologies, translations of their texts, and theories about how people and the natural world interact with each other. My fieldwork sites are located in Sudan, Lebanon, and Egypt.

Museum Education

In addition to my archaeological work, I am the Inga Maren Otto Curatorial Fellow in Academic and Public Programs at the Harvard Art Museums, and an On-Call Educator at the Rhode Island School of Design Museum. In both of my roles I support art education for students and members of the public by designing and delivering tailored programming with art from all of the Museums’ departments (ancient and modern).
